The Zao Wou-Ki Foundation has made a two-year commitment with the Beaux-Arts de Paris to facilitate the mobility of French and Chinese students and young artists. This partnership is based on financial support for students studying at the Beaux-Arts de Paris or at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, the largest art school in China, where Zao Wou-Ki was a student and then a teacher.

 

This exchange will strengthen the training of students and the knowledge between the two countries.

 

Four scholarships will be awarded each year by the educational commissions of the two institutions according to artistic criteria, representing a financial support of 60 000 € over the academic years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.
